Media Configuration Tool (Windows)

In imagePROGRAF, the best printer settings for each paper are collected together in media information files in order to
give the highest quality printing results. Settings for Canon genuine paper and Canon feed confirmed paper are provi-
ded by Canon in these media information files.

Note

Canon genuine paper and Canon feed confirmed paper are detailed in the Paper Reference Guide.

The Media Configuration Tool allows you to perform the following tasks.

When supported paper has been newly added to the printer, you can add that media type to the printer control
panel and printer driver by using the media information file provided by Canon.

You can rearrange lists of the types of paper on the printer control panel and in printer driver dialog boxes and
rename them, in addition to other functions.

Important

Normally, the Media Configuration Tool is installed and the media information is configured when you install the print-
er driver from the User Software CD-ROM. Use this software if you want to add new media information or edit existing
media information.

Administration of paper information using the Media Configuration Tool should be performed by the printer administra-
tor.

The Media Configuration Tool installation screen appears when you start the installation of a new version of the Media
Configuration Tool. The installation procedure started from this screen is described below.

Important

When you install the printer driver from the User Software CD-ROM, the Media Configuration Tool is also installed
and the media information is also configured. The following procedure is therefore not normally needed. Perform the
following procedure if you are installing the Media Configuration Tool without using the User Software CD-ROM, such
as by downloading the latest version of the Media Configuration Tool from the Canon website.

You must be logged in as Administrator when installing software in Windows.
